Vello Fusion Basic Overview

The FreeWave Fusion Basic 2.4 GHz Wireless Trigger System for Nikon from Vello is a versatile, reliable remote control kit that will trigger a camera, shoe mount flash, and studio lights from up to 328' away. Sixteen discrete channels provide the ability to avoid interference from other users while maximizing your creative potential.

Use the system to expand the capabilities of a shoe mount flash or studio lights without the hassle of tangled PC cords. The FreeWave system is also great for capturing wildlife. Simply place the camera on a tripod and use the FreeWave Fusion trigger as a remote camera release from a distance. The trigger allows camera's shutter remotely to avoid unwanted camera vibration for sharper macro imaging. The 2.4GHz radio signal will pass through walls, windows, floors, and other obstructions.

The FreeWave Fusion Basic 2.4 GHz Flash Trigger Set is compatible with most major manufacturers' shoe-mount flashes with manual power control. Pentax, and Sony Minolta-type shoes are not compatible. Each unit runs off two AAA batteries (not included).

It stopped working -- Will return it

By Monique
Rated 1 out of 5
Date: 2026-05-10

A few days after I wrote my favorable review below (5/4/2026), the transmitter and receivers now malfunction roughly 9 out of 10 times. I put new batteries in the transmitter, receivers, and flash units. I also verified that the flashes were operational and ready to fire. However, the transmitter/receivers now fail to trigger to flashes most of the time. I'm returning this Vello system.

Seems to do the job!

Works great as an off-camera flash trigger with my Nikon Z50 and SB-700. I primarily focus on photographing fungi these days and this setup allows me greater control over my light source, so I'm pretty happy. It's a bit of a bummer that the flash is limited to Manual mode rather than having TTL available; however, as someone whose early workhorse light source was a Vivitar 283, metering and making adjustments is still part of my muscle memory.

Asked by: William
I would recommend viewing the instruction manual under the "In The Box" section under the Overview tab on our website for full instructions on how to use the Vello FreeWave Fusion Basic 2.4 GHz Wireless Trigger System for Nikon, B&H # VEFWB24N. The most basic answer would be ensure there are batteries in the units, place the transmitter in your camera's hot shoe, place the receiver on the external flash you are using, turn both units on, and ensure they are set to the same channel. Pressing the shutter button on the camera causes the transmitter to send a signal to the receiver to wirelessly trigger the off-camera flash unit.
